Does Life Compute? Understanding Protein Folding and Biomolecular Assembly

Watch a thought-provoking lecture exploring the fundamental question of protein folding and biological computation, delivered at UCLA's Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics. Delve into mathematical models that illuminate biomolecular assembly processes, as Brown University's Govind Menon examines whether conventional understanding can match AI achievements like AlphaFold in predicting protein structures. Discover unexpected mathematical patterns underlying biological processes while exploring the intersection of computational biology and pure mathematics in this 46-minute presentation from the Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences Workshop.
